"Parallels Summit 2009 represents a great opportunity for the hosting industry
to gather and discuss the evolution of the industry and exchange information on
topics such as Cloud Computing, Software as a Service, virtualization and
automation and the role we all play in this ecosystem," said Morris Miller,
Founder, Rackspace. "Parallels plays a key role in the hosting space and I look
forward to the interaction between the world’s top hosters at the Parallels
Summit this year."
The event will focus on how end-user organizations can optimize their IT through
Cloud Computing, Software as a Service, and the implementation of virtualization
and automation technologies. This not only enables businesses of all sizes to
reduce their total costs of IT ownership and increase productivity, it also
represents strong potential revenue streams for independent software vendors
(ISVs), the channel and service providers.
"Cloud computing is emerging as an exciting and energy efficient approach to
providing dynamic IT resources," said Bernie Meyerson, VP Strategic Alliances
and CTO, IBM. "We are happy to be able to participate in Parallels 2009 Summit
to present the path the computing industry has taken to this stage, from the
origins of the power challenges to the holistic approach to these problems."
The event is free for Parallels customers, partners and anyone interested in
learning more about how virtualization and automation software can optimize
their use of technology. In addition to the in-depth product, strategy and
insight sessions, attendees are invited to participate in two networking events;
an opening reception on Monday night and on Tuesday, and a Parallels Plesk Panel
9.0 Launch Party at Mix Lounge on the famous Las Vegas Strip.
The Parallels Summit 2009 features keynotes by industry leaders and innovators,
as well as a panel session entitled "Weathering the Storm: Finding Silver in the
Clouds." Speakers include Morris Miller, Founder of Rackspace; Bernie Meyerson,
CTO and VP of Strategic Alliances at IBM; Paul Ghostine, VP and GM of the
Desktop Virtualization Group, Quest; Dylan Larson, Director of Server Platforms
at Intel; Bill McNee, Founder, Saugatuck Technology and Andreas Gauger, Founder
of 1&1. Industry expert Micheal Sippey from Sixapart will also be on hand to
discuss the advantages and complexities of social media and explain how business
and technical professionals can take advantage.
"Cloud Computing is transforming and disrupting the IT industry," said Antonio
Piraino, Senior Analyst, Tier 1 Research. "The most meaningful conferences being
hosted in the IT sector today should be focusing on the affects that new Cloud
Services are having in the market. This is why we participate in focused
conferences like Parallels Summit 2009; to ensure that industry peers are
collaborating, and that emerging success stories and technologies continue to be
assessed, illustrated, and embraced."
"We are pleased to be welcoming such an impressive group of globally recognized
industry leaders and innovators to the Parallels Summit 2009," said Serguei
Beloussov, CEO of Parallels. "Current economic conditions create unique
opportunities for those in the hosting industry with foresight and agility to
execute and capture those rewards. Attendees will be given a rare opportunity to
